The unbearable attack Dino Boffo

"Expressing full support to the Director of Future, the friend Dino Boffo, I feel obliged to witness the distress for the space given to news of a plea bargain for former verbal harassment on the content of which and their reason the newspaper did not provide any test seriously and that the sensitivity of any magistrate would be irrelevant, "said Carlo Casini, president of the Movement for Life and the European Parliament's Constitutional Affairs Committee," I feel a duty to also add that I find intolerable as the daily Repubblica in obsessive attack on Berlusconi his personal affairs, so I feel outrage at the attempt of reaction initiated by the Newspaper dusting off old stories and rumors affecting the integrity of someone who has made a point of reference for future of all Italian Catholics. "

Alsatian: Political correctness is the language of the 4th Empire

In an interview [22 mins, talking 3 parts] for the portal Infokrieg.tv the author Jürgen Elsässer clear. Alsatians, who criticized himself as politically situates the left, "eternal yesterday left sectarians", and organized campaigns under the banner of the "struggle against the Right." For he is of the opinion that in light of the common enemy, the international financial cartels and globalizers, such sectarianism only ourselves harm.
It is over long distances a pleasure to listen to Alsatians. Thus, he states: The European Union is in reality an anti-European Union. An agency of globalization and the weakening of the European nation. The EU nations was in fact a destruction machine. Hence Jürgen Elsässer against the accession of Turkey - both in the interest of the recent EU member states as well as in Turkey itself
At a new member follows the immigration of people from other countries. This will destroy both the countries, according to Alsace, immigrated from which is, like the social networks of those Western countries that immigrated into the.
Alsace is committed to a European community, as it existed before the Maastricht Treaty: With few states which are all on the same level and retain their national sovereignty.

The Devil Wears iPhone.

The Fagot
a pain to inform you of the death of
HIS MOBILE PHONE
born NOKIA 3601
asleep in the peace of God, in its second year.
My phone just died. Peace to his soul. Prior to administering the last rites, I inquired of my surroundings to see what was the best model to buy to replace the late future.
Then a great clamor rose, from all holders of iPhones in the city of Paris
"Buy an iPhone! "
As you understood, a cascade of proselytism rabid pro-iPhone hit me. I just wanted to spend some of which (ahem) phone calls, I was relentlessly touted the virtues of a stupendous device which, judging by his followers, can almost do everything from simple pot -au-feu to express the healing of pancreatic cancer. Not a single unsatisfied? I've asked, wary. Then, in observing these fanatical supporters, just sweating a devotion to their machine close to amorous passion, his eyes bloodshot, his mouth foaming, the terrible truth came to me.
The iPhone is a creature of the devil.
Tel Regan MacNeil blithely spewing his mashed chickpeas, owner of the iPhone is actually the possessed, subject to the will of his Satanic demonic phone. How else to explain the supernatural fascination of those users who leave women, children and friends to spend day and night to tap on a piece of plastic? Explaining the look of psychotic unfortunate you explain with an almost orgasmic glee that this divine machine allows them to achieve incredible technological feats such as drinking a glass of beer digital imitate the sound of the lightsaber Mace Windu, or show Synthesis of ants on their screen?
Have you ever had lunch with a iPhoneur recently? Between the phone, sms, mails, internet, Facebook, music, camera, camera, television, video games and you'll be lucky if you can catch her eye. When you leave, you'll fine him explain that you live two blocks, he will insist on using GPS, a Google map of the cosmos and fold its integrated compass to make sure you drive safely. Looking for your keys? No need to trouble you, his metal detector is there to find out which pocket of your trousers they are. After all, that I have come to wonder if he used iTringle to honor his concubine.
I also suspect some particularly frenzied zombies users to maintain sexual relations with their gear Mephistophelian.
And now, iPhones start to explode around the world, crippling their slyly dedicated users.
Is this not the ultimate proof of the presence of the Evil?
Undeterred, the disciples continue their worship, singing fervently praise of God iPhone, sentenced to be beheaded at the turn of a routine call.
For my part, a phone that thinks it's Philip Laborer, it does not inspire me confidence. So instead I'll buy it:
Inelegant, but sturdy.

Immigrants, Frattini against the EU "only words, but no facts"

Foreign Minister: "The refugees have found asylum in all 27 countries, not only by us"
Gasparri: "If Valletta is not able to give relief to leave the field open to others"
.
ROME - The tragedy of the 73 migrants died in the Mediterranean policy refers to its responsibilities. Whose fault is it? How could it happen that an inflatable boat load of people remained at the mercy of the sea for 23 days? Not any sea, but the Mediterranean guarded by Frontex, the European agency for border control. Guarded and yet, once again, turned into a cemetery.
The majority of government in troubled waters after the controversy between the Church and the Northern League, pointing the finger at Malta and Europe. The first would not be able to effectively patrol the sea area within its competence, the second to look away, leaving the weight of the control of entry to countries including, of course, Italy. That, in contrast, would have nothing to reproach themselves.
Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, on the sidelines of the Meeting of Cl in Rimini, has defended the government's work, stressing that the European Union to come only words but not facts. "Immigration is a European problem can not be left only to countries that are outside of Europe - he said - but for now the EU has been limited to the commitments with no real answer." And again: "He has made numerous statements and commitments despite not yet responded to the question of what happens when a group of immigrants arrives at the gates of Europe.

"Iran's regime is Dictatorial and Tyrannical"

MEMRI has a few items from the Egyptian press about sets in which the authors were not just enthusiasm for the Iranian regime over beat.
A selection:
Another article, titled "Religious State - Political Lie" includes an interview with several Egyptian intellectuals focusing on Iran, conducted by journalist Asmaa Nassar. In it, Al-Tagammu 'party leader Dr. Rif'at Al-Sayyed stated: "The real problem is that [Iran] has only one source of authority, which is not the constitution, nor the law, nor yet the majority opinion . Rather, it is the 'rule of the jurisprudent' [representing] the religious outlook of the religious state's founding fathers, which honors neither the constitution nor democracy. "
In another of the articles, political Islam researcher Isma'il Hosni drawing a parallel between the Iranian regime of the ayatollahs and dictatorship, claiming that the common denominator in a theocracy's sources of authority and in a dictatorship is Tyranny. He wrote: "Both [types of regime claim] to possess the absolute truth, and let not a single day pass without [Exercising] Tyranny or depriving others of the freedom to express their opinions."
A number of the authors of the Roz Al-Yousef articles contended that the Islamic Republic had never, since its inception, reflected the wishes of the people, instead Relying on power, Intimidation, Coercion, and violence.
Clearly, the direction the state is given. In Cairo, one might not Ahmedinejad. Nevertheless, an undertone, which is interesting, because criticism of Iran in the Arab world these days, always in some criticism of their own Auokratien. Iran split the Arab world into those who firmly behind the rulers in Tehran and its implementing organizations Hezbollah and Hamas, and those with little joy and envy the developments.
Interesting in any case, that these newspapers in Egypt and other Arab countries, Iran's system (and not only the "choice" Ahmedinejad) criticize far more violent than in Europe.

Camilleri: "The dialect does not exist, the League wants to go back centuries"

by Federica Fantozzi
.
Andrea Camilleri, author of detective novels whose protagonist, the charming Montalbano of Vigàta, he has a very small victory. He sponsored the revival of the Sicilian dialect, scattered freely within its pages and landed well, a little 'away and sometimes unwillingly, in the minds of readers. Including those (many) of the Lombardo Veneto.
Camilleri, the League re-launches his mind: the dialect at school, in place names, food labels, in the subtitles of TV dramas.
"The dialect is not only important, is the lifeblood of our Italian language. But in and of itself is meaningless, if not in the language. Especially the teaching of the dialect in school is a nonsense. You see, in Italy the risk was the loss of the dialect. But you can not go the opposite and choose a language dialect.
What is the risk that you run? Isolation? Fragmentation?
"The dialect does not exist. There are, as Pirandello, the spoken. In Sicily there are as many as there are cities, and is different from Catania dall'agrigentino which is different from Palermo. When I wrote The move of the horse, I did help from a Genoese to translate her dialect. And yet the Genoese, I wrote to clarify: it is that of a particular area of Genoa. "
So who has learned some 'of Sicily, the' pirtuso 'to' picciriddro ', his novels about what he learned in reality?
'A speech that certainly enriches the language and communication. But mine, among other things, the Sicilian is bogus. "
In short, we must reverse the hierarchy of facts?
"It is good to preserve and study the dialects, but the language has been going on since receiving words, images and sounds from the periphery toward the center. Otherwise it is the Italian who died. O becomes the colony, as has the English words or too technical that no one understands. "
That the League is a boutade, a regression or a warning?
"For me it is a wake-up call. It should not be taken as a simple boutade. With Berlusconi prone, ready to fulfill 90% of wishes Bossi, they become dangerous to be ridiculous. Classes will return to the first of the of Commons, a running back over the centuries? Well. But it is un'idiozia total.
So, do you agree with Professor Asor Rosa Without the frame of the national language dialects become folklore, an impoverishment and a return to the past?
"But of course. It is a very serious mistake in opposition. "
Beyond the literary inventions, the world would work a completely "local" neighborhood where each speaks in its own way? 'Alone. And then serve a passport to go to Trastevere by Meadows. But on. That this debate is born during the 150 years of the unification of Italy I find repellent. The Italian unit has a thousand faults, but delete them back is pure folly. "
Zaia contends that the Neapolitan craftsman selling coral in Thailand should not lose his mother tongue or embarrassment, and schools and institutions have a duty to help him.
"I escape the terms of reasoning. The craftsman has to sell its products in Italian that customers do not understand. The common ground of understanding is Italian, as is the Constitution. The Charter does not say that Italian is the official language because it is natural, of course, elementary. "
What then remains of his land? And as you passed?
"The family dialects are spoken. Are preserved through daily use. But we can not impose in any way. "
Zaia proposes to use for food premises, next to the Italian in the original also. So the foods that Adelina prepares for Montalbano could have dual label: 'purp' next to octopus, 'pasta' ncasciata 'alongside a pasta al forno,' passuluna for black olives. What do you think?
"Of course. I propose to label the politicians who make these proposals. Place of origin, level of education and local name.

Postalmarket version H2O

Lovers of the 80s, the commari have a visceral passion for the legendary Postalmarket, in whose pages during the hot August, they discovered the existence of gray mélange and swear that have never used for other purposes. If you've ever held in the hand this piece of Italian publishing history, ancestor of Amazon.com you know that it was full of beautiful youth. Fasciata in a comprehensive sports blue, gray or black ... Those Visini perfect, slightly sculpted biceps those entered into the collective commaresco. Feelings like the commari have relived only after Kirk love of Cameroon, but those biceps, that perfection fasciata fabric gray mélange, the commari found in the physical carved - and yes it is better to say - the swimmers, here in a special version of our top 5, here's the most beautiful in the world.
Not before he had mentioned the dogma of the most beloved postal catalog: "With Postalmarket you use your head and every package that arrives is a party."
At number 5 ranking respectively the Italian Edoardo Giorgietti and Australia as a whole. ... Already in the wild like the italianino while fille has not yet recovered from the severe form of the Australian because he lived an afternoon of unbridled with typhoid torcida aussie. To represent the bulwark of the land of kangaroos Matt Abood, dignified portrait done step by Commare Tiziana.
Un ... Abood and especially the blue Giorgetti
At number 4, Ryan Lochte Truzzi and water polo in the broadest sense, the low spot in the standings is justified by the fact that it is a category "" ndo cojo cojo. Here, as for Australia, we choose a representative for the whole class and not wanting to be too campanilistiche and then fall over Settebello, here we choose the goalkeeper of Spain Iñaki Aguilar.
Aguilar in bathrobe and without Locht ...
At number 3, doncs bronze medal for the Italian dorsista Mirco Di Tora (commari that one has actually seen a close, the other safe Rosica) and the Iberian-Dutch links Aschwin Wildeboer, like saying that name make rhymes with jamón serrano and instead comes from the youth Terrasa, near Barcelona, the fille Catalan recalls another of mixed blood who years ago stole her heart.

At number 2, silver medal to worry Paul Biedermann, the thing that pussy is like the wild despite being the nemesis of Phelps and Brazilian Cesar Cielo Filho, how to enter the heart of the fille? Simple, reminding the beloved childhood idol in the style (in Calabria say Magnini, 'u bread soup).
The carioca Cielo Filho and worry Biedermann
Drum roll ... the number 1, then the gold medal with two Americans, because as the wild swimmers seem to come out of American television and one of the two also shared the residence of Seth Cohen never forgotten. Michelino Phelps talk about (on the left with a bong in his hand to defend the colors bradipinici) and Aaron Piersol (who despite his more advanced stempiatura stole my heart away to fille in 2003). La fille loves it because despite everything she thinks is a Californian doc, with the hair - or rather what remains wet from the sun - all surfing and laissez vivre ... And then, did the school of Seth! Fille also like it because it is no exaggeration and typically American, how could it be that I know Phelps is one who sees that accidentally opened a book in his life and it applies to try to save the world ... vamos a superhero in polieuretano!

Zach Levi (aka Chuck Bartowski) is the geek

The syndrome affects secchione yet. Commari that suffer the charm of this type of ragazzuoli had already realized, we have reiterated over and over again. But the shock for Zach Levi (which is pronounced Liva, I recommend), interpreter of Chuck Bartowski (Italia1 on the second Tuesday evening) was immediate and did not let escape.
We do not know who we like more, ie if Zach or Chuck, but we are not here to clarify. The truth is that it is committed in the shoes of / secret agent in those Kipp Steadman Secretary of Perfetti ma non troppo, the beautiful Zachary we like it so much and we could not comparizzarlo.
The character of Chuck is also brilliant and has made all the more admirable by dubbing Nanni Baldini (as in the rest Perfetti). We believe, however, Chuck is not a nerd, so that did not even graduate from Stanford because expelled because of his roommate. Rather we call a geek, a lover of technology, secchione yes, but not too much. So you know, the difference between geek and nerd is thin, but the latter is always much more fascinating of the first and Chuck is a geek, point!
But come to Zach, this son from shining smile embarrassing. Bello has said little. From the name you would think that jew is instead explained to be a Christian, born September 29 1980. Something makes us think that he too is a little 'geek like the character he plays, as he has 14 points on his right hand due to a wound that was made for playing tennis up in the night with the Nintendo Wii . In fact he and his friend Joshua Gomez (Morgan Grimes in the series) are often invited to presentations of new video games.
Invitation to Cianci, you leave a few photos and a video of this human marvel.
Look at what has really set the videogames ...
Your Geek,

Deep disappointment.

Naruto all know that Japanese anime ninjas hand of Masashi Kishimoto. More than half the planet is no load to see what will happen in the next chapter or what will happen at the end. Personally, I just read out of curiosity.
I think the story came to a point that there is nothing attractive to me. In the last chapters of the manga, scanlations read what you want to say, I have been bored. There was only one thing that made my heart more and wanted to read was something that stirred the whole world. Do not say because it is best spoiler for many people only see the anime. However, only a matter of eight chapters, or I do not know why this series from when I get bored.
I will continue reading, of course, to see that things are invented Kishimoto. Maybe we are surprised with a great final, but let me doubt.

Happy Earth Day!

Photo credit: NASAEvery day should be Earth Day. I mean really, does designating one day make a difference? What is sad is that so many businesses take advantage of Earth Day and greenwash their goods. I'm beginning to hate the word green. I do think it's great to have a day set aside where everyone focuses entirely on planet Earth, but the actions have to become part of a person's daily routine to make a real difference. I like this header from the article "Grist Tries to Explain its Screw Earth Day Campaign"...
See NASA's view of Earth on their Earth Day page which has all kinds of fun and interesting stuff - like 10 Things You Never Knew About Earth!

To ronde pink Paperopoli

The cyclone is crashing down on patrols Paperopoli.
Under the eyes of all, appointed by his uncle Paperone, organizations designed to protect the national treasure that is not the female reproductive organ, it is compact and show pride in their uniform slender and somewhat 'too close to the calves, probably in these particular forms of life, the engine resides in those parts .. These particular organizations are mostly made up of beings male white thoroughbred is Pluto being yellow is logically out of place, and who had already paid the registration fee. But since we are in democracy and social equality and equal opportunities are the order of the day (especially since it is legitimate Paperina Minister), here's rise at dawn of the seventh day, the patrol pink composed by some of the most aggressive students College of St. Caterina (Pavia). And do not you dare say that the funds offered by Paperino are illegal, while also in some way it must be such a rewarding activity and such a sacrifice, in the absence of funds offres inflatable toy size Topolonek that even if it is not duck, all right the same.

Reopening the Commons: Reversing the Enclosure

Nowadays, almost everybody is forced to sell their labor power in order to survive (or, at least, to avoid hardship and official harassment). This necessity seems so natural to us that we seldom think about why it exists and how it came about.
Yet, historically the situation that (almost) everybody has to sell their labor power is rather new-it only emerged with capitalism. Wage labor and capitalism depend on each other: Without capitalist companies, there would be nobody (by and large) to sell your labor power to, so wage labor could only be an occasional phenomenon (as it was before capitalism). And without wage workers, capital accumulation would be impossible, since their surplus labor is the source of profit (and of its derived forms, interest and rent).
That wage workers are forced to sell their labor power (due to a lack of alternatives) is just one side of the coin. The other side is that they are allowed to do so-in contrast to slaves, who cannot sell their labor power since they themselves have already been sold by others.
Karl Marx therefore coined the term "doppelt freie Lohnarbeiter" ("doubly free wage workers") for the situation we (most of us) find ourselves in: On the one hand, we're free human beings who have the legal right to sell our labor power (not slaves or serfs). On the other hand, we're "free" of the means of production, i.e. we generally don't have access to tools and resources that would allow us to produce for ourselves, without having to sell our labor power or the results of our labor-otherwise we wouldn't be forced to sell our labor power, thus creating a surplus for a capitalist.
The creation of the doubly free wage worker was a historical process that accompanied and enabled the emergence of capitalism (described by Marx in his chapter(s) on the "so-called primitive accumulation" in Capital I [German original]). One aspect of this process was the liberation of slaves/serfs (introducing the legal possibility to sell your labor power); the other aspect was the "enclosure of the commons," the privatization of land and other resources which had formerly belonged to all (introducing the factual necessity to sell your labor power). Both these aspects had to come together to create the specific status of the "doubly free wage worker"-which nowadays is so widespread that is seems "natural" to us, though it isn't.
The emergence of the necessity and possibility to sell your labor power was thus the result of specific historic conditions. Apparently, there must be other historic conditions which would make them disappear again.
Since the workers (or would-be workers) are "free" in a double sense, there are two ways in which they can lose their wage worker status:
They can lose their right to sell their labor power, reverting from legally free human beings to serfs or dependents of some sorts. Losing the option to switch employers (provided they can find a new one), they would be bound permanently to a single master.
They can lose the necessity to sell their labor power, gaining access to a sufficient share of the means of production to be able to live without the need to earn money.
In the modern world, the former tendency can already be observed in areas where warlordism or gang activity become widespread. If you work for a warlord or a gang, you are bound to an organization which cares for you, but which you cannot leave without risking your life.
The latter option would require a reversal of the historical process of the "enclosure of the commons": a reopening, recreation, and restoration of the commons. And indeed we can see many traces of such recreations and reopenings already taking place, as new commons are created (free software, Wikipedia etc.) and struggles for old, or former commons (land, water etc.) are increasing.
So we're still faced with two very different futures, which Rosa Luxemburg contrasted as "socialism or barbarism" almost hundred years ago. Though nowadays, seeing that the reopening of the commons is an essential precondition for the positive alternative to appear, we might prefer to call it commonism instead.
On the practical side, this means that we should do everything we can to support the reopening and recreation of the commons, whether by contributing to open manufacturing projects, by struggling for the general and free access to resources, by supporting projects based on sharing and joint production, or in some other suitable way. Endeavors that just try to modify and "improve" the logic of capitalism and money making-whether alternative currencies, capital-less money making schemes, or struggles for copyright reform without questioning the logic of capitalism [de] -are a waste of time. The important thing is to strengthen the commons and the logic of commoning.
